A 2houses alternative that grows the whole kid
KudoKids grows the whole child — habits, life skills, emotional wellness, and play — for any family, not just split ones. Screen time that actually builds something instead of just tracking who has the kids this weekend.

Why parents look for a 2houses alternative
2houses is good at family organizer. But it isn't the right fit for every family.
App crashes constantly, especially after recent updates — users fall back to the web version
Customer service is slow or non-responsive, sometimes ignoring reports for months
Surprise billing: users charged for annual renewal without any warning or reminder

We'll put this high on the page. If you specifically need what 2houses is built for, it may be the right tool — not us.
The only co-parenting app built specifically for divorced and separated families — custody calendar, permanent message records, and shared expense tracking in one place.
